Bump on scrotum. Popped and drained. Still feels hard. Suggestions?

I have had a small boil like bump on my scrotum for a long time.Finally got fed up of it as it has gotten bigger and harder.I popped it and drained a hard substance out.It shrunk quite a bit,but I want it gone.it feels still hard inside it and is about the size of a pea.what I have read on posts,it seems like an absess.what should I do ?

Hi
Welcome to HCM.
It is suggestive of INFECTED SEBACEOUS CYST.
Now, a course of antibiotics is needed.
After about three months, removal of the entire thing can be done under local anesthetic by a surgeon/urologist.
It is a minor procedure and there should be no worry.
Best regards
